Summary - Printing from Star Office

Hi,

Thanks everyone for the ghostscript suggestions
My low tech fix is:

Install Ghostscript.
Setup a standard print queue to the PCL printer
create a small shell script to be called by the Star Office print system
(Hit connect in printer setup)
hey presto it works.

My small script:

GS_FONTPATH=/space/office52/share/fonts/type1
GS_LIB=/usr/local/share/ghostscript/6.0/lib/fonts
export GS_LIB
export GS_FONTPATH
rm /tmp/testout
cat - > /tmp/testout
rm /tmp/testout1
cat /tmp/testout |/usr/local/bin/gs -sDEVICE=lj5mono
-sOutputFile=/tmp/testout1
-
lp -d lex /tmp/testout1
